National Topics Interpreted
by “William Bruckart
a
———————————_—_SO
Wasfiington.—Anyone who.atteinpts to
interpret Washington news or nppraise
‘its effects meets a
Dr. Wirt’s circuinstanee fre
Charges quently where the
onty course-is one of
watchful waiting. There is no alterna
tive. Complex situations must work
out; ulterior purpeses must be dis
closed to a slight degree, if there are
such purposes, and some scent must
be had of the factors and influences
at work. Otherwise, appraisal of the
botential effects usually will miss its
mark under circumstances of that
kind.
Of such a type were the charges by
Dr, William A, Wirt, the school superintendent from Gary, Ind. who as:
serted that “brain trusters" of the
Roosevelt administration were seeking .
to overthrow our form of government
and establish a communistic or’ Russian Soviet state in its place. Doctor
Wirt's accusations came out of the
blue sky, so to speak, because there
Was no advance notice of them. Of
course, there were thousands of per
sons who were uneasy about the trend
of events and the plans of the New
Dealers, Apparently, however, most
of them were unwilling to make themselves a target for the unbelieving by
becoming™ vocal -about--their. opinions. .
So, the setting in which Washington
observers found themselves. was,. to
Say the least, a new-one:
With these facts in mind, . have
awaited an exposition af Doctor Wirt’s
charges before attempting to analyze
them or to fit them into other things
that have been happening to make a
complete picture. His appearance before the house committee of inquiry
left nothing to be desired in the dramatics. He was there, accompanied by
that famed attorney, former Senator
Jamies A. Reed of Missouri, which was,
in itself, a surprise. And Doctor Wirt
stood up agaliist “the” barrage of. attempts to discredit him! He never
flinched; he fought back, and he was
apparently convinced of his own findings, a fact that gave him added
courage.
Doctor Wirt wasted no words in telling of the famous party in a nearby
Virginia home where Lawrence Todd,
~ Washington representative of the. Russian Soviet news agency “Tass” and
several “satellites”. of the brain trust
were at dinner with the Indiana educator. He quoted Todd as the authority for the statement that f’resident Roosevelt was the “Kerensky”
of the present revolution and that
presently Mr. Roosevelt would be supplanted by a “Stalin,” even as oc~¢urred in Russia.
Of course, Mr. Todd has no part in
the government, officialty, and: a. gande . :
many of those who: scoffed: at Doctor
Wirt originally contended the charges
were just “baloney.* But tie: madethe statements under oath and their
effect now is the thing with which we
are concerned. for to say that the
charges have had no effect is to make
a statement that the moon is made of
green cheese,
. a ee
To those of us whose job it Is to
keep a finger on the pulse of public
: sentiment, it has heen
Reaction apparent for several
Sets In months that a reaction against many of
‘the New Deal principles had set In,
I, for one, however, was unable to
gauge {1 accurately. 1 could not tell
how deeply rooted these convictions
were. it required some such incident
as the Wirt charges to focus attention
on the fact that there were doubters
before most of us here could gain.an
idea of the “oppositionist” movement
that appeared to exist. Let me Say at
this point, too, that it ts apparent Mr.
Roosevelt is net the only target; the
criticism seems to be more of the
ideas prompted by his brain trust advisers than the President's own re
form or recovery principles. There is
a decided difference: one realizes,. between the two, for: oner group, itr. ther}:
administration is prometing referm
and another recovery, :
Here is where the> wret: testimony
becomes important in its effect. By
making the charges, Doctor Wirt directed attention to the two schools of
thought. In effect, he has called upon
the country to distinguish hetween re.
form and recovery programs, and has
asked the question whether we shalt
sacrifice recovery in. order that. reform
ideas may be forced down the throats
of those who find it difficult to swallow untried theories.
There can be no. doubt that several
millions of Americans who, heretofore, were willing to trust Mr. Roose
velt to run the whole show, are now
making individual examinations of the
structure which the New Dealers have,
or propose to, set up. I think it equally true as well that these examinations by individuals will result in a
crystallizing of opinions more than has
happened up to this time. They undoubtedly will find some good and
some bad, some workable and some unworkable, items among the New Deal
plans, That ought to be a wholesome
thing for the country: History: seems
to prove that a cross. seetionof our
national mind is nearly: always: correct
after the hysteria dies down. Tttus.
the opinions I gather around Washington stress the importance of the re
form that obviously 1s going to result
from New Deal methods. But they emphasize equally the importance of the
Wirt testimony ty balking-an onrush-.
ing wave of so-cxtled reforms that so
“many persens consider ter beactually
destructive of the basic and. proved
practices of our commerce and indus
try,
And, after all, that {s the point
at issue in this country today. Doctor
Wirt quoted Mr. Todd as having said
that “Roosevelt is in midstream and
the current ig too strong for him to
turn back.” . still have faith in our
system of government and . have more
faith in a majority opinion of the people of the United States. Since PDoetor Wirt testified, they are on ‘thelr
guard. It may be that the sun of the
brain trust theorist is setting.

One more observation about the Wirt
affair: in a long service in Washington, . have seen few

quickly after changes in sentiment
take place, and it is no different now.
There was a time during the first
months of President Roosevelt's ad‘ministratien when. anything. he sent to
cengress was put through, and ne
questions were.asked. Currently, however, there Is a disposition. among
‘members of. beth. politival. parties. in.
congress to inquire into the character
of legislation they are putting through.
For example, the bill that the Presi.
dent wanted for controlling the se
curity exchanges, like the New York
Stock Exchange, was advertised by
Democratic leaders at first as being
ready to go through without questien.
Mr. Roosevelt sald he wanted “teeth”
in-it, and teeth were put in it, plenty
of them. -[ndeed, the proposed legislation would have left little of the
stock exchange to operate, Rigid control was a mild expression compared
with that original stock market bill.

Then, just when we think we can
write authoritatively about the new

said knits couldn't look like tweeds?”
Anny. Blatt, Paris designer of
knitwear, answers the question in
handknit town clothes that feature
diagonal stripes of dark, soft green

And in New York Emmy Wylie re
